Yup, Kim's defence of 'Kimono' just put the bar officially on the ground
Love ’em or hate ’em, the Kardashians are everywhere. The family’s obsessive need to be in the spotlight fuels their careers, but their ignorance pisses a lot of people off, too. The latest kontroversy: Kim released a shapewear line called Kimono, and immediately got called out for cultural appropriation.
Too bad Kim doesn’t seem to get that. In a statement to the New York Times on June 27, Kim said, “I understand and have deep respect for the significance of the kimono in Japanese culture. And have no plans to design or release any garments that would in any way resemble or dishonor the traditional garment.
When Kim K defended her braids as “cultural inspiration” Just weeks after attending the MTV Movie Awards in full Fulani braids, Kim responded to internet ire and calls of cultural appropriation by doubling down on her stance. Speaking on a panel at BeautyCon LA this weekend, the makeup mogul told the audience her desire to wear braids comes from a “real place of love and appreciation.”
At this point, it’s pretty clear Kim knows what she’s doing and just gives no fucks. She’s already been called out before for appropriating Black hairstyles , but that didn’t stop her from stepping out at the MTV Movie & TV Awards wearing Fulani braids.

When Kendall saved the world with Pepsi The now-pulled Pepsi commercial was so offensive for so many reasons, we’re shocked it even made it to air. Between trivializing Black Lives Matter to belittling police brutality, the ad was so wrong. The commercial shows Kendall modelling for a photo shoot when she notices a protest happening in the streets outside.
